Book Overview

""The Pigtail of Hi Wing Ho"" is a mystery novel written by Sax Rohmer. The story follows the adventures of a young man named Hi Wing Ho, who is the son of a wealthy Chinese merchant. When his father is murdered, Hi Wing Ho embarks on a quest to find the killer and bring him to justice. Along the way, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful woman, a sinister gang leader, and a wise old sage.

He must navigate the dangerous world of Chinese politics and uncover a secret that could shake the foundation of his entire country. Filled with suspense, action, and intrigue, ""The Pigtail of Hi Wing Ho"" is a thrilling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.The police theory of the murder (and I was prepared to accept it) was that the assassin had been crouching in hiding behind or beside the cab--or even within the dark interior. He had leaped in and attacked the woman at the moment that the taxi-man had started his engine; if already inside, the deed had proven even easier. Then, during some block in the traffic, he had slipped out unseen, leaving the body of the victim to be discovered when the cab pulled up at the hotel.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
